about
Ombak is a Richmond, VA based instrumental quartet consisting of members of Fight the Big Bull, No BS Brass, Modern Groove Syndicate, Ilad, Glows in the Dark and Agents of Good Roots, Bryan Hooten: trombone/compositions Trey Pollard: guitar Cameron Ralston: bass Brian Jones: drums Ombak is instrumental music for the 21st century…..the meeting point of Nirvana, Noise, Tommy Dorsey, dub and mathematics…there’s a lot of nice architecture here…. but there’s plenty of party going on. -Trumpeter/composer Steven Bernstein “Framing the Void” means creating meaning through the dynamic interaction of sound and silence in an unbounded creative space. Hooten’s compositions are spare and compelling, even in the most attenuated moments there’s a sense of structure — the band can snap from multiphonic, seemingly abstract experimentation into full-on unison lockstep within a few beats. -Style Weekly User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
